It's extremely hard to upstage a ballerina, especially when ballerinos don't get a lot of material to work with, but damn. How the fuck...how the hell did that just happen? O_O
He did not travel once during his revolutions accept when he transitioned out of his last revolution. If that had not happened I think I might have actually had to breath into a paper bag! Misha is the best !
Correct. It is a (one) grande pirouette with 24 or 25 "tours" (turns). Difficult, but accomplishable. In "White Nights", he does 11 "tours" easily! (not 11 "pirouettes") as it says in the script.
no thats wrong... he did 11 PIROUETTES in white nights ... pirouettes are spins on one foot and that foot doesnt leave the ground... tours usually are with the body leaving the ground they are usually leaps or jumps with turns....
The individual tours are called Tours a la Seconde, as the pose is with the leg raised in the second position. The series of tours comprises a single Grande Pirouette, regardless of the number of tours or variations of poses in the tours: it is a single Grande Pirouette.
Fouettés are the pirouettes done by the female dancers where in each turn the leg goes from "passé" to "developé à la seconde" real quick. I don't know if I explained myself clearly ... :S
GEEZ how many was that? i cant even count that high! LOL (im kidding. but seriously, even with 30 years of training i'd probably fall on my face after the 4th turn.)
i agree with a previous commentor - his fluidity is amazing!

Baryshnikov was such an amazing turner it is just absurd. I counted 23, too. He just never stops turning. Truly amazing.
